NBC News reports:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed President Donald Trump to implement his ban on transgender people serving in the military.
The justices granted an emergency request from the Trump administration to lift a nationwide injunction blocking the policy while litigation continues.
The court's brief order noted that the three liberal justices dissented.
The decision is a loss for the seven individual transgender service members, led by lead plaintiff Emily Shilling, a Navy commander, who had sued to block it.
"Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a devastating blow to transgender service members who have demonstrated their capabilities and commitment to our nation’s defense," Lambda Legal and Human Rights Campaign Foundation, two groups representing the plaintiffs, said in a joint statement.
The policy "has nothing to do with military readiness and everything to do with prejudice," the groups added.
And transgenderism has nothing to do with lethality. Note that NBC News doesn't even feel the need to name "the three liberal justices." We all know who they are.
Right, this is temporary until the litigation plays out. But it's not a good sign for the plaintiffs.
There's no reason that gender dysphoria shouldn't be a disqualifying factor when so many other mental illnesses are.
